Ojibwe Elementary School Education B.A.Sc.Education
College of Education and Human Service Professions
The Ojibwe Elementary School Education B.A.Sc. (Gekinoo'imaagejig) program presents liberal arts and professional teacher preparation through an Anishinaabe lens, including development, learning and motivation, curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professionalism. The program integrates the American Indian Learner Outcomes into the elementary education licensure requirements established by the state of Minnesota.
Students in the program follow the core values of mino-bimaadiziwin, the Good Path:
* Honor the Creator, the Great Mystery
* Honor Elders
* Honor plants and animals
* Honor women
* Keep our promises and uphold our pledges
* Show kindness to everyone, even to those with whom we disagree
* Be peaceful in body and spirit
* Be courageous
* Be moderate in our dreams, thoughts, words, and deeds
Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to apply for licensure to teach grades K-6 in any Minnesota elementary school. The major also provides a K-8 licensure endorsement in teaching Ojibwe language in immersion schools or other schools. Students complete language courses throughout the program and participate in language immersion camps to achieve proficiency in the Ojibwe language and to gain skills in teaching Ojibwe.
